ना मई लदी थी श्यामा निकास गये
ना मई लदी थी श्यामा निकास गये
ना मई बोली ना मई चली
ना मई बोली ना मई चली
टन दुपत्दा सोई पड़ी थी
टन दुपत्दा मई सोई पड़ी थी
ना मई लदी थी श्यामा निकास गये
पाँच सखी मोरी संग की सहेली
पाँच सखी मोरी संग की सहेली
इनसे पुच्च्ो मई कुछ ना कही थी
इनसे पुच्च्ो मई कुछ ना कही थी
श्यामा निकास गये
ना मई लदी थी श्यामा निकास गये
दस दरवाजे बंद कर सोई
दस दरवाजे बंद कर सोई
ना जानू कोई खिड़की खुली थी
ना जानू कोई खिड़की खुली थी
श्यामा निकास गये
ना मई लदी थी श्यामा निकास गये
कहट कमली कबीर की बेटी
कहट कमली कबीर की बेटी
इस ब्याही से तो कुवारि भली थी
इस ब्याही से तो कुवारि भली थी
श्यामा निकास गये
ना मई लदी थी श्यामा निकास गये
श्यामा निकास गये श्यामा निकास गये
The song "Na Main Ladi Thi" by Asha Bhosle is a poetic expression of the singer's feelings of abandonment and loss. The repetition of the line "Naa main ladi thi Shyama nikas gaye" emphasizes the emptiness and absence experienced by the singer. The use of the word "Shyama" refers to the beloved, who has departed, leaving the singer feeling alone.
In the first stanza, the singer states that not only did she not fight, but she also did not speak or move. This suggests a sense of helplessness or paralysis, as if she was unable to prevent the departure of her beloved. The imagery of the "ton dupatta soi padi thi" highlights her inaction and stillness, symbolizing her state of desolation.
The second stanza introduces the presence of the singer's friends, portrayed as "pach sakhi mori sang ki saheli." Despite their company, the singer remains silent and does not express her feelings or concerns to them. This further isolates her and shows her reluctance to share her emotional turmoil. The repetition of the line "Shyama nikas gaye" reinforces the loss of the beloved and accentuates the pain experienced by the singer.
In the third stanza, the singer depicts herself shutting all ten doors and sleeping, indicating her withdrawal from the outside world and her introspection. The absence of any open windows reinforces her seclusion, suggesting that she has cut herself off from the external world and has no knowledge of the happenings around her. The repetition of "Shyama nikas gaye" serves as a constant reminder of the void left by the beloved's departure.
The final stanza brings in a reference to Kabir, stating that the singer's marriage did not bring her happiness. She is presented as Kabir's daughter, emphasizing her spiritual and philosophical connection. The line "Is byahi se toh kuwari bhali thi" implies that the singer was better off unmarried than experiencing the pain of losing her beloved. The repetition of the line "Shyama nikas gaye" intensifies the sentiment of loss and emphasizes the impact it has had on her life.
Overall, the lyrics of "Na Main Ladi Thi" delve into the emotional aftermath of being abandoned by a beloved, exploring themes of loneliness, silence, and the internal struggles faced by the singer. The repetition of key phrases amplifies the pain and longing felt, painting a poignant picture of heartache and desolation.
